A restaurateur who found success with a hole-in-the-wall Vietnamese kitchen in Sydney 12 years ago is ready to open his fourth Sunshine Coast venue.
Nguyen Brothers is opening at Tewantin in late July marking Yen Nguyen’s fourth restaurant under the Nguyen Brothers Sunshine Coast group.
It would be Yen’s sixth restaurant venture in Australia after he started with a small kitchen in Sydney in 2010 where word spread of his uncle’s famous pho.
They opened their first Nguyen Brothers restaurant in Sydney in 2015 which Yen left in his brother’s hands when he moved to the Sunshine Coast in 2017.
“We saw how much locals loved Asian restaurants on the Coast however we felt that Vietnamese food was under-represented and wanted to bring a taste of Vietnam to the Sunshine State,” Mr Nguyen said.
“We started with just one restaurant in Maroochydore, but when we experienced such a positive response to the menu, we knew that an expansion was necessary to meet demand.”
The Tewantin restaurant will add to the other Sunshine Coast venues with two in Maroochydore and one at Birtinya.
The family-owned company’s focus is still on authentic Vietnamese food with recipes passed through generations.
“While most customers come to Nguyen Brothers for our staple Pho and Banh Mi items, we’ve really enjoyed educating our regulars with some more adventurous and traditional dishes on the menu such as our Ca kho to (caramelised barramundi cooked in a clay pot) or Banh Xeo (crispy Vietnamese pancake with pork and prawn), and now they love trying different items each time,” Mr Nguyen said.
Mr Nguyen said he looked forward to expanding to the Noosa region to serve locals and tourists.
“We find that a lot of our regulars travel to Maroochydore to dine with us – even from Noosa, so we knew that there was a great opportunity to be closer to the locals and Noosa holiday makers,” he said.
The restaurant will be located at 95/3 Hilton Tce, Tewantin and will open Monday to Saturday for lunches and dinners from late July.
